The quarterfinal match ups take place on Thursday at the Sprint Center in Kansas City. The night cap kicks off with a game between the Texas Longhorns and the West Virginia Mountaineers.
This is the third match up between the two teams this year. The West Virginia Mountaineers won the previous two match ups.
Texas Longhorns
The Texas Longhorns pulled an upset in the first round of the Big 12 tournament beating Texas Tech 61-52. They played really good defense all night and really made it hard on the Red Raiders to score.
That win over the Red Raiders was the first win all season away from their home court. The Longhorns had lost seven straight games before the win over Texas Tech.

The Longhorns goal is to really slow down the pace of the game and make it a half court game. That will be key against the Mountaineers who really want to push the pace.
The guards need to be great in this game breaking the press and trying to control the tempo of the game. If the guards can do that, the Longhorns have a shot to pull the upset.
West Virginia Mountaineers
The Mountaineers have had another nice regular season, but for West Virginia being good in the regular season doesn’t mean success. For them it’s all about the post season and they are trying to avoid another early exit out of the NCAA tournament this year.
The Mountaineers come into this game with a 24-7 record. They come into this game having won four of the last five games. Their only loss in that stretch was against the Baylor Bears.
